KIDDERMINSTER STREET LIGHTBULB THEFT WARNING

Residents in Kidderminster have been urged to be on the lookout for thieves who are targeting Streetlight bulbs after a series of thefts in the area.

Members of a local neighbourhood watch in Aggborough reported around 8 Streetlights not working yesterday evening. Witnesses saw two men clambering up the streetlights around 8pm last night before taking the bulbs out of the lamps.
This is the fourth reported incident in the past week.

Experts believe that the men are targeting the lamps because of lower wattage energy saving bulbs being sold at various places within the district.

Bulb expert Lou Minus said

"The bulbs being sold in local hardware stores have the power of 2 candles. These streetlight bulbs have the power of a thousand candles. Also the energy saving bulbs take up to 2 hours to reach full strength of light wheras the streetlight bulbs take just two minutes. Its no wonder the light frustrated people of Kidderminster are resorting to other means."

The council has temporarily replaced the streetlights with long lasting flares until it can find replacement bulbs.
